Watching old episodes of Not Necessarily The News on Youtube. For those of you who aren't familiar, it was a faux-news satire from the early 1980s on HBO.

The humor is kinda dated and obvious in retrospect, but I still recommend it highly... because of how FAMILIAR it all is. Right down to people wondering out loud "is fuckin' NOBODY gonna call Ronnie out on blatantly lying us" and the POTUS making laughable geographical mistakes (apparently Ronnie mislocated the Panama Canal sometime in '83-84?)

In short, DON'T attempt to reload Last Known Good USA. You'll take us right back to 1776, you damn fool, and there's no reason to think they'd get it right next time either.
